At The Controls

The TWiT Gaming Show (eventually referred to as "At The Controls") is the new video gaming podcast hosted by Tom Merritt, Glenn Rubenstein, and Brian Brushwood.

The show ran in beta episodes starting on May 6, 2011 and aired on Fridays after Tech News Today at around 7:00 pm ET (4:00 pm PT).. The final show will premiere soon on the TWiT Network.

Show Name

In the first episode, a lot of names were pitched. One of them, "At The Controls" was suggested by Glenn because he owned the domain AtTheControls.com, but the others on the panel weren't too keen on it and decided to keep looking. Starting with at least the third episode, Glenn started using the name to refer to the show even though it was not an official name.

Some members of Chatrealm, while liking the concept of the show, have not been too keen on the name. A Google Moderator page was set up to try and find a more appealing name before "At The Controls" becomes permanent.

Cancellation

The show never made it past "release candidate". On September 23, 2011, Tom Merritt and Glenn Rubenstein announced the show was cancelled. The show would be re-worked into a pre-show for a LAN party. Two unnamed hosts would do a short intro and then the LAN party would start.
